# Setting up maubot (optional)
|
||||
|
||||
The playbook can install and configure [maubot](https://github.com/maubot/maubot) for you.
|
||||
|
||||
After setting up maubot, you can use the web management interface to make it do things.
|
||||
The default location of the management interface is `matrix.<your-domain>/_matrix/maubot/`
|
||||
|
||||
See the project's [documentation](https://docs.mau.fi/maubot/usage/basic.html) to learn what it
|
||||
does and why it might be useful to you.
|
||||
|
||||
## Adjusting the playbook configuration
|
||||
|
||||
Add the following configuration to your `inventory/host_vars/matrix.DOMAIN/vars.yml` file:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
matrix_bot_maubot_enabled: true
|
||||
matrix_bot_maubot_admins:
|
||||
- yourusername: securepassword
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
You can add multiple admins.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Installing
|
||||
|
||||
After configuring the playbook, run the [installation](installing.md) command again:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts setup.yml --tags=setup-all,start
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Usage
|
||||
|
||||
You can visit `matrix.<your-domain>/_matrix/maubot/` to manage your available plugins, clients and instances.
|
||||
To add a client you first need to create an account and obtain a valid access token.
|
||||
|
||||
## Registering the bot user
|
||||
|
||||
You **need to register the bot user manually** before setting up the bot. You can use the playbook to [register a new user](registering-users.md):
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts setup.yml --extra-vars='username=bot.maubot password=PASSWORD_FOR_THE_BOT admin=yes' --tags=register-user
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Choose a strong password for the bot. You can generate a good password with a command like this: `pwgen -s 64 1`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Obtaining an admin access token
|
||||
|
||||
This can be done via `mbc auth` (see the [maubot documentation](https://docs.mau.fi/maubot/usage/cli/auth.html)) or by logging into Element/Schildichat with the bot account
|
||||
(using the password you set) and navigate to `Settings->Help&About` and scroll to the bottom.
|
||||
You can expand "Access token" to copy it.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
**IMPORTANT**: once you copy the token, just close the Matrix client window/tab. Do not "log out", as that would invalidate the token.
